Referring tofFigsf l and 2 ofthe drawing;

i' is apin ticket boring openings, E, 3 and4,

e slot 5, Vend e tongue, 6, as shown. f The't'Wo openings 3 end Itere adapted to receive the body' of'e household pin, 7'., or other rern0v- :Able fastener which. is edspted'not only to be passed through the seid openingsQ-butel'so through' the fabric, peper, or .other materiel, '8, to which. a. pin ticket is to be etts-ched. The head of the pin is adapted to rest Within the opening 2 whereby thepin heedA is parti-elly protected by the thickness of 'the' materiel forming the ticket and fur- 'ther/protected, as Will be presently 'described, by the folding of theticket in the the fabric or other material.

The ticket itself may lbe Inode' of Ycerdboerd, Manila pe er, or othersuteble paper, orina-ferial capa. le of being easily'rn'arked. ,i In order to complete the attechinentof'the pin ticket for the purposes described herein, the lower part ofthe ticket shownin Fig.. 1

' ina-y be folded beck on the'upper end of the be' inserted' in thel s lot'5 'fter'wbich operation the ticket, duiy attached to the fabric orother in Fig; 2 lwhereby the pin itself 'and Valso" the tongue 6 are conipletf-ily` covered and the outer side lof thepinticket presents an absolutelysinootb surfce so that there is no danger of its catching into orv interfering with the materiel to which it is applied.

In Fig. the'part of theticket above the line 9 may be termed the pin-carrying portion, and the part` to be folded over upon such pinrsrrying portion ni aybe termed ai'fiap.

in Figs. 3 and 4 the tongue 6 is attached to the shorter fold of the pin ticketedjacent the pin-carrying portion'while the slot 5 appears in thelonger fold or flap. Here, after. the attachment of the ticket to the goods by ineens of e pin. in e ina-nner similar to thatl shown in and 2,: the lower and longer fold or hep is red upward and the shorter foid is turned down so that the tongue may y Thisproduces e. pin ticket illustrated `in its operation of completing the attachment' to maybe folded upward on the'dotted `line 9` and a' portion thereof including the tongue 6 ticket shown, lt 9X sind the tongue me r then 'suitable materiel, appears in the forni 'shownother goods lyingn'ext' to the pin ticket or thereby.

v ln the form illustrated in Figs. 5l and 6 the slot 5 is made in a larger fold at the top of the ticket? 1 and the tongue 6 is formed on a comparatively long fold on the said ticket, so

that'when the parts are turned together as shown in Fig. 6 the tongue passes from thee outside into the slot 5 and the outer side of the ticket covers both the pin 7 and the i tongue 6, leaving only a ioint betweenthe upper and lower folds as in Figs. 3 and 4.

ln Figs. 7 and 8 the tongue andv slot are replaced by a pasted surface at one end of the in ticket, as' shown at 10. When the pin as been' attached to the fabric or other material, onehalf of the ticket, provid-ed with the glued surface l0, is turned over, and when the glued surface has been wetted and api plied to theV corresponding surface at the other end of the ticket, the two ends m ay be made to stick together, thereby protecting the pin andpresenting an absolutely smooth external surface. on the ticket. v In Figs. 9 and 10 the glued portion 10 of the ticket is formed on an end somewhat longer than the portion to Which the pin or other removable fastener is applied andafter the attachment has been,made bypme'an's of the fastener, the glued portion is wetted and turned over and .sealed against the back of they other .part of Athe ticket. also the outwardly facing surface of the ticket is absolutely smooth and there is no danger of its becoming tangled or otherwise engaged With the surface of materials lying next to the ticket or the goods to which itis attached. j

By means of the pin ticket herein described, very convenient means are provided v'for attaching to goods tickets duly marked With legends indicating the names vof the merchants or senders, the character of the goods sent or onsale, the price of the same, or giving any other convenient data, whereby the needs and requirements of merchants or users of tickets of this character are readily subserved'.
